Before we meet the great men of salvation history, we first have to understand the first man—and the first fall. In this episode of Great Men of the Bible, host Joe Stopulos sits down with theologian Katie Patrizio to unpack Genesis 1–3, exploring the creation, the fall of Adam and Eve, and how these events shape the entire story of salvation. From the meaning of time and creation to the three temptations that echo through all of Scripture, Joe and Katie uncover how sin, virtue, and redemption all begin in the garden—and why understanding Adam helps us understand Christ.
